Wow - guess the Founding Fathers blew that one!

Can you demonstrate how that is so? Is that based upon his previous performance as a judge? Or how you act?

The trial is April 16th. The legal team can come up with arguments against what the judge has outlined in his reasoning for the injunction. Or, they can try for a different judge.

I wonder why they didn't ask for a different judge immediately, when his name was announced to hear the case? No reason?



Well, no. It was expert testimony that currently over 220,000 people do not currently meet the new law voting requirements, and the important part is that disinfranchised group was overwhelmingly not representative of the voting public at large. They are specific individual different groups. That makes the law discriminatory.



???? What does that have to do with the expert testimony that the law discriminates against specific groups? That is the illegal part!

Potential disinfranchisees are not required, by law, to attempt to fulfill the law, as proof that the law is discriminatory. That's absurd <g> You are saying that the victims of the discrimination have no choice.

If there are 220,000 people that are disenfranchised by this voter ID required than doesn't current gun legislation disenfranchise that same segment then? I don't own a gun nor do I even like guns but if that is the basis for your argument the constitution has already been violated with the current gun laws. Those so called 220,000+ people that do not have an ID or can't reasonable obtain one can not legally own a gun even though the constitution provides:
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

I don't see where it says that we need an ID to bear arms, but yet we do.

In today's world nothing can be done without an ID. You can't buy cigarettes, cough medicine, go to a bar, drive a car, obtain a bank account, fly on a plane, etc without an ID, but you can vote for the politicians without an ID that are spending your hard earn tax dollars.

As far as voting the constitution says:

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.


Couldn't you argue that you need an ID to prove that you are 18
